Boys in blue and bathroom Glock mishaps :: 09/25/2014
In recent weeks, a number of security and law enforcement officers have had problems making business in the water closet that ended with an embarrassing situation with their Glocks. This brings to mind, just what is your plan for when 'code brown' comes about while carrying?
Honolulu problems
On Sept. 9, a shot rang out in a public restroom in a Hawaiian Target store (please no puns intended). Upon investigation by the responding Honolulu Police De
partment, it turned out that an off-duty officer of the department discharged his Glock while inside his stall. Fortunately, no one was injured; the round apparently ricocheted off the door and hit the wall of the next stall.
However, the brief gun-play did alarm shoppers.
"Everybody was startled because of just hearing a gunshot in the store," a witness told KHON2.
"It's kind of shocking to think that something like that would actually happen in the store."
The HPD, who recently changed over to the Glock from a SandW platform, is suffering from their now third incident of accidental or negligent discharges including the tragic death of an officer killed while showing his gun at a barbeque and another where an officer attempting an arrest fired his weapon unintentionally.
Incidentally, the HPD has been named in several lawsuits over its extremely strict policies against issuing concealed carry permits to civilians. In 2012, every applicant who applied was denied, with no reason or explanation given.
Courthouse Glock give away
A court security officer at the state 10th Circuit Court in Derry, New Hampshire noticed about 10:30 a.m. that he no longer had his Glock. Backtracking, the last place did have it was the public restroom. According to WMUR, that's where things went wrong.
"Apparently, a court security officer left the weapon accidentally in the restroom in the morning and discovered it missing and then called us," Capt. Vern Thomas told local media.
